• Teaching you how to navigate your courses in talon
• Helping understand college policies and expectations
• Working on goal setting and accountability
• Providing information and connection to any resources or needed support services
• Listening to any concerns that you may have, then proactively helping to problem solve and find solutions
• Meeting on a regular basis for progress check-ins and ongoing support throughout the semester as needed
